How much do you think Barry should be making and where do you think he should go? And how much of a raise would keep him here? Read more

Not that much, actually. I think there was some Twitter uprising but for the most part they were pretty tame. Read more

Ugh. Dude. Come on, now. I hope you used baby wipes before that rendezvous. Read more

Color, mostly. I think the comments should be reflective of a site's personality. But sometimes you get a group that goes through the bratty teenage years and can only hope that they turn into something more than that over time. Sometimes, one post can set the tone for a year on the site — both good or bad. But it's Read more

It changes. Right now I'd say the best metric is uniques. Pageviews don't mean dick anymore and haven't in a long time. But those numbers usually take time — barring a flukey Favre story here and there — but with the staff we have now there are higher expectations than usual for us to be successful.

I don't get that annoyed. I understand the sentiment. I do. This place has changed a lot since its inception and I also miss some of the things about it that it used to be. I feel bad for those who no longer read the site due to the changes or how I've run things. But I also feel like it's beyond my control. I don't Read more

Ha. That's funny. Insider-y funny, but it made me laugh. Take this star and use it wisely. Read more

You know, that's a great question. I don't know for sure, but I think we'll have to eventually, right? Gawker being all ahead of the curve and everything. Read more

Hmm. I like it. In theory, I like it. Any publication that strives(operative: strives) for quality and gives a platform and substantial paycheck and visibility to writers will always be in my good graces regardless of how disgusting I think their parent company behaves sometimes. My one complaint is the Read more
